ElWiki was a collection of wiki-based knowledgebases on a variety of subjects. Users could create a wiki on any subject free of charge, and get a free .com, .net or .org domain after hitting a certain threshold of activity. The owner of the wiki farm was Martin Rozinsky.

It appears the site is down. People wanting to start their own wiki hosted by a third party should note that such disasters can happen.
